OUR WORKPLACE LEARNING PHILOSOPHY

Our training and development approach is designed around engagement and education to inspire teams to ignite effective behavioural change. In order to achieve real change across an organisation people must work together as a collective, tight-knit group. This is why interactive workshops are still one of the most effective approaches to positive change.

- Three Key Learning Cornerstones:

Our brains can remember so much before we go into shut down mode! The last thing we want to do is bombard participants with too much information which will confuse and overload them. Therefore, to help participants remember the important things we limit our ‘big picture’ learnings to three key things per session. Lots of tips and tricks are shared but this approach ensures we execute an easy-to-understand learning structure.

- Research & Science-Backed Learning Experience

The Workshop Lab is committed to providing the most up-to-date research and science-backed content at all times. We stay connected with leading global research institutes to ensure we deliver highly relevant information that is application to Australian workplaces ‘now’.

- Adult Learning Design

Our training is designed to have maximum impact within a busy workplace environment. We incorporate engaging, interactive adult learning techniques to ensure our workshops are informative and drive behavioural change.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT

The workshops are short, intensive learning sessions designed specifically for adult learning in the workplace. We incorporate up-to-date knowledge and thinking; we engage teaching techniques that are interactive & interesting; and we believe in using great visual design to enhance the overall learning experience.

The Workshop Lab is built on a strong foundation of organisational psychology - we work in close partnership with leading Employee Assistance Program (EAP) providers to ensure a seamless flow through of professional support.

- Contextualisation

All workshops are contextualised and tailored by our learning development experts to ensure the content includes 'real life' examples and highly relevant information. We include things like industry case studies, scenarios, activities and even images, that participants feel like they can directly relate to.

- Customisation

The Workshop Lab works with management to determine the key learning needs by conducting in-depth discussions and a training needs analysis. From this point, a tailored learning solution is created. We can also help by providing a learning needs analysis report which is developed by conducting independent interviews or online surveys with employees if necessary. This allows management to involve employees directly in their learning and development, increasing engagement, participation and attendance.
